How would a 225/55-16 inch tire.......

Alright, the tires that my car came with from the dealer are 205/55-16s. Obviously not the size the car is supposed to come with. Now i know 215s are the norm. But, i wanna know if anyone has 225series tires on there stock rims and how they look. Is there any real bulge? Any bad effects? Im just tired of these all seasons and want my Yokos back, but they dont offer then in 215/55-16s..

Pics and stuff would be appreciated...

Thanks
Eric

i have 225-50-16 BFGoodrich tires, and they def. give a better look to the car. they have a slight bulge, but nothing to get worried about. they only down side that i see is a slight reduction in sidewall heigh which IMO makes the fender gap a little more pronounced.
